This reverts commit cc3790f332d989440eb1720e24e3619fc97c74ee. We can't change rootful to rootfull because `rootful` is written into the machine config. Changing this will break json unmarshalling, which will break existing machines. [NO NEW TESTS NEEDED] Signed-off-by: Ashley Cui <acui@redhat.com>

NAME
podman-machine-set - Sets a virtual machine setting
SYNOPSIS
podman machine set [options] [name]
DESCRIPTION
Sets an updatable virtual machine setting.
Options mirror values passed to podman machine init
. Only a limited
subset can be changed after machine initialization.
OPTIONS
--help
Print usage statement.
--rootful=true|false
Whether this machine should prefer rootful (true
) or rootless (false
)
container execution. This option will also update the current podman
remote connection default if it is currently pointing at the specified
machine name (or podman-machine-default
if no name is specified).
Unlike podman system connection default this option will also make the API socket, if available, forward to the rootful/rootless socket in the VM.
EXAMPLES
To switch the default VM podman-machine-default
from rootless to rootful:
$ podman machine set --rootful
or more explicitly:
$ podman machine set --rootful=true
To switch the default VM podman-machine-default
from rootful to rootless:
$ podman machine set --rootful=false
To switch the VM myvm
from rootless to rootful:
$ podman machine set --rootful myvm
